I'm Not George Clooney

Heather called me when she landed in LA. It was only for a  few minutes - she had to go get settled in at her digs (tell ya more bout that later) and met up with some folks. 

Rourke'S MOJO

What better way to express one's individuality - than through fashion.  And that's just what Mickey does and has been doing since he first hit the scene. He has never been one to cater to what is trendy. He likes - what he likes and that's the way it's going down in his world. Personally, I never gave a shit what he wore.  However, this attitude comes from a  chick - who at one time wore nothing but, black, shopped in vintage clothes stores, wore earring made out of the tops of  beer cans and had bold pink highlights throughout my hair. While those days are behind me - I still got my on thang going on.   And so does Mickey. He is looking SMASHIN' these days.

With his mussy hair, sunglasses and ubiquitous hip-dangling chain, he still evokes the outlaw danger of his biker past, while his penchant for open-necked shirts, unbuttoned cuffs and oversized, slightly undone neckties exudes an air of disheveled elegance. Consider the look something like a luxury hobo or a dandy gone to seed.  READ
